“Their fix” is based on whatever dosage they’re already used to. There’s not some fixed upper bound that everyone achieves after their first cigarette.

Making cigarettes less addictive would make new addicts less addicted.

At the cost of 50 years worth of current addicts smoking more.

If we doubled the nicotine per cigarette, d’ya figure they’d all smoke half as many?

I doubt it. I think for most smokers, one cigarette does them for a while. I don’t see anyone stopping at half a cigarette, so I’d guess it would only get smokers used to taking more nicotine in at a time.
